The Lagos State Police Command has confirmed the arrest of three persons over the death of Dr Vware Diaso at the General Hospital in Lagos.
Confirming the arrest on Saturday,the command’s spokesperson, SP Benjamin Hundeyin,said that the police had begun investigation into the case.
Diaso was reportedly trapped in a faulty elevator at the General Hospital, Odan, Lagos, where she was working as intern. She later died following complications sustained in the incident.
The incident reportedly happened on Wednesday evening when the deceased, who lived on the 9th floor of the building, wanted to meet a dispatch rider who had brought her the food she earlier ordered online.
The deceased, a graduate of Babcock University, Ilishan Remo, Ogun State, was said to be undergoing her mandatory one-year internship programme at the hospital and had less than two weeks to complete the programme when the tragic incident happened.
Current matters gathered that the hospital elevator that killed the late Diaso crashed from the 10th floor to the ground floor.
The deceased was rushed to the emergency ward of the hospital for treatment but eventually died.
Diaso ‘s death raised serious questions about the country’s public health facilities as the Nigerian Medical Association ( NMA) strongly stated in their agenda during the protest against the death of the Medical Doctor.
The Association had said that the doctor died out of negligence of public health facilities by the management of the institution and government.
According to the NMA, there were no blood transfusion systems and other exigencies that would have resuscitated the victim and kept her alive.
It was also learnt that some Doctors who lived in the lift operated and ill-fated building have packed out of their residence to forestall a reoccurrence of the fatal incident.
